O2 Arena (4th March) Undercard Taking Shape

The much talked about promotion at the O2 Arena, in London, on March 4th where the David Haye v Tony Bellew fight will top the bill, has seen some interesting bouts already added to the undercard.

The first that caught my eye sees the Birmingham fighter, Sam Eggington, take a step up in class.Egginton has been matched with the New York fighter Paulie Malignaggi.

Malignaggi is a former two-weight world title holder and is still a classy operator still able to show-case those silky boxing skills that took him to world title glory.

Although no longer a world title contender, Malignaggi will be quite capable of giving Eggington a tough fight.

The second fight that has caught our eye is the bout that will see the Liverpool fighter, Derry Matthews, get back on to the title trail when he challenges the WBC silver champion Ohara Davies at lightweight.

Both should be interesting fights before we settle down to the main bout of the evening, the heavyweight grudge fight between two fighters who clearly do not like each other, David Haye and Tony Bellew.
